Balnab

Not far from Patitite Pattuna, the planet Balnab is a primitive world, made of a stellar remnant still in the early stages of its development. In its relatively recent past, an alien starship crashed on the planet, and the surviving crew became the lone intelligence on the primeval world. Intelligence is a relative term, of course. The Balnab denizens were hoodwinked into cowing before the towering holographic form of Albee Dewaw, the iron-fisted dictator of Balnab. During one of their misadventures of the Clone Wars, C-3PO and R2-D2 revealed the truth behind Albee Dewaw to the stunned Balnab dwellers.

Podracing is extremely dangerous, as is maintaining the speedy vehicles. In the hectic pace of a race, safety comes in second place to winning. As such, the cheap and expendable pit droids often bolt out onto the racetrack to repair still cycling superheated engines with no regard to their personal safety. When not in use, pit droids fold up into a compact package. They spring to activation when needed. A tap on the nose signals the droid to collapse back into stowed mode and rest.
